[Q] bricked phone after manual RUU, need help - Sprint HTC One (M7)

i recently attempted to unroot my sprint HTC one by running an RUU.exe. it wiped the data on the device but could not restore it because it was an incompatible version. I'm supposed to be running 3.04.651.21. so i tired doing it manually from the command prompt and no the phone gets past the HTC logo screen but just keeps flashing a blank screen. how can I either fix this or remove the "tampered" and "relocked" dialogue at the top of the boot loader screen for warranty?

Well, first attempt to flash a recovery again so you can get into recovery and then see if you can Wipe Data/FDR through(Preferably) TWRP and see what happens

put it under strong light (may be the flash from another phone) and hold down the shutdown button for 20 seconds approx. After turn off, now you can enter hboot and flash recovery

[Q] Only 'X' is being displayed and then reboot help please.

was using my nexus one as i was switched it off removed the sim card from this phone placed it in another phone... left my nexus one on charge and turned it on left the room when i got the vibrate didnt even saw wether it was completly on or not... came back home saw the phone off... tried to turn it on but it wouldnt.... then connected the charger to the phone then turned it on and it shows a X and a unlocked sign at the bottom stays for a while and then the screen gets black and the same thing happens over and over again
Its going in a reboot loop I think.
Try going into the bootloader by pressing the trackball and power button together.
and then enter bootloader and then recovery.
In the recovery select reboot.
Btw do you have a nandroid backup?
I do have a backup lying around somewhere but i'm not sure of that. And i tried that boot loader thing but when i go to that menu as soon as i press the volume - button the phone boots off again
did you try the 3 finger:
pwr/vol-/trkball at same time may take up to 20 seconds to boot into bootloader
or, may need to use fastboot from command terminal and flash new recovery/rom like passimg to go back to stock then upgrade from there
pass image method is in wiki
Try this:
- Press the power button and the trackball together
- Select Bootloader and then Recovery
- Flash a different ROM (Stock\CM\MIUI\or try flashing again your current rom)
- If it doesn't work, flash a new rom AND wipe data and cache

Please help

I rooted my HTC One international and flashed Android revolution. At the end it said "you may have lost root, do you want to fix?" I selected Yes and now my phone is in a constant reboot where its shows HTC logo and then switches off and on and shows entering recovery and off and on again back to HTC logo.
How do I force it to switch off and are there any other recovery options?
Entirely wrong section, but try holding down the power and volume down key. When it shuts down keep holding the volume down key. Should get you to the bootloader. If it just keeps rebooting no matter what, when it shuts off hold the volume down key to get to boot loader. I've had a similar thing happen. If those don't work you can PM me and I'll try throwing some other options out there.
Thank you so much, that worked!
Sorry about posting in the wrong area. I was freaking out a bit about the boot loop and in that worried frame of mind I posted in the wrong place.
Back to the problem, I can get into the bootloader now and select fastboot and my computer can connect to the phone.
At the top of the bootloader it shows ***Tempered*** and ***unlocked***.
I re-flashed the recovery but I still can't get into recovery. It just shows entering recovery then the clockworkmod recovery screen shows for a split second and then it reboots.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

flash a TWRP recovery
I ran "Fastboot erase cache" and now I can enter recovery again.
I tried re-flashing the ARHD ROM which is still on the internal storage but when the phone reboots, it keeps going back into recovery.
I did create a backup of my original ROM before I flashed ARHd but when I go to restore in ClockworkMod, it just says "Could not open directory. No files found"
What should I do?
Ok I re-flashed superuser and then immediately flashed ARHD and now it's booting again.
Very relieved. Thanks for the help.
Mods, please move the thread for me.

no OS No BackUp how can i start from begins ???

Htc One m7 ul
Had No bootlooder
only on recovery mode clockworkmod v6.0.3.1
have no android and it wont shutdown
how can i start from begins ???
iam new it's only one week experience
If I understand you correctly, you're probably boot looping over and over, right? This happened to me a few weeks ago, I accidentally did a FULL wipe, then I had no OS and nothing I could flash (I was in a car). When I turned the phone on after that, it would just boot to a white screen and start over. To shut down your phone, try holding Power + vol-down until you can get to the boot screen, then power down.
To fix it, you'll have to put a ROM on your phone. From that boot screen, go to recovery (clockworkmod, in your case). With your phone connected to your computer, use adb to put a rom on your SD card, then on your phone just flash the ROM like normal. that should get you up and running.

I had a similar problem with my phone.
What I did was instead of trying to get into recovery, I just went to fastboot and flashed the recovery image again and it work.
You may want to try that. (Flash the custom recovery again).
He cant do that, dont try flash recovery, your bootloader is locked, it wont work.
Hold volume down and power button, you will see home and back flash at the bottom, just keep holding till your phone goes off, then hold then volume down only as the phone restarts, should take you into the bootloader.
What did you do to get it stuck in a boot loop ?

I seem to have a similar issue. The problem is that I do not have enough time to select recovery (nor any other option) from the bootloader menu. The phone reboots again before I can choose and confirm my selection. Any pointers?

You have bootloop in the bootloader? If yes then you have a serious problem, probably hard bricked.

HTC One stuck in bootloop, can't use bootloader

My phone is completely unrooted, I just did a quick weak sauce root back on 4.4 which was patched with 5.0 I Uninstalled weaksauce2 and my phone has been unrooted and locked ever since. Suddenly I got a restart message in the middle of using my phone and my phone started looping yesterday.
When I try to enter the bootloader I can't do anything. The second I try to scroll down it splashes the HTC logo and then restarts.
Turning off the phone and turning it back on and attempting to enter bootloader doesn't fix anything, I can't access recovery. The closest I can come to operating the bootloader is mashing the power button to select fastboot, which just causes the screen to go black instead of splash the HTC logo before looping again.
Is there any way to fix this (or at least get the data off of it) or is my phone officially hard bricked?
Bump.

If your bootloader is unstable there not much you can do. Are you able to post the output of "fastboot getvar all"? Does "fastboot oem rebootRUU" brings you in RUU mode?
